Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
Woe is the giant monster movie. In recent years it has fallen by the wayside, its corpse bludgeoned by the likes of Matthew Broderick and shaky-cam footage. For the giant monster movie enthusiast, the film landscape is a wasteland, populated by the picked over bones of long forgotten titans. Luckily there are those that remember fondly the heady days of Godzilla and Gamera.
The Asylum are a group of such like-minded people and do they have the perfect film for you, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. Even the title lets you know that they are not fucking around. There will be no philosophical exposition here about, say, man’s impact on the environment. No, this movie is about a shark that can eat the Golden Gate bridge and an octopus that can crush a submarine with one arm going head to head to see just who is the most bad-ass imaginary monster in the world. Period. End of story.
What, you need more? How about Lorenzo Lamas and Deborah Gibson? Yeah, you read that correctly. Go ahead, picture it in your mind: A silhouette of a man on steel wheels rises over the hill, a blood red sky to his back. Suddenly, a voice!
He was an octopus cop, and good at his job. But he committed the ultimate sin, and testified against other octopus cops gone bad. Octopus cops that tried to kill him, but got the shark he loved instead. Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands. An outlaw hunting outlaws, a bounty hunter, a Renegade.
Then, BAM, right into “Foolish Beat”. Then a giant shark jumps out of the water and eats a goddamn jumbo jet.

Thank you for acknowledging Mr. Broderick’s role in aiding and abetting the atrocity that is Godzilla 2000, AKA, “Wonder Lizard”.

I know I’m biased, but I agree completely with meatbagwtf. Furthermore, I was actually subjected to the horrors of Wonder Lizard in the theater, due to a younger brother with odd taste in films.
That said, I am EXTREMELY excited about Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.

I still carry the burden of knowing that I am responsible for a group of six of us going to see Wonder Lizard – Assault on NY in the theater. Luckily, I am no longer friends with those people so my guilt doesn’t bother me much.
Also, Deborah Gibson = Still Hot!

I’m speechless at the awesomenest. I expect the Vatican to ban this film faster that you can say Ratzinger.

These are the types of movies I love, second being romantic comedy, third just plain comedy. I’m still waiting for the day, though, that we get a giant monster vs. monster movie where they just skip the plot and get to the action. But that’s just me.
